Gen. Sheridan q Farmer.

Gen. Phil Sheridan is, although it is not
generally known, an Ohio farmer Many
years ago an uncle of his, John Minor,
purchased the "Pigeon Roost" farm in
Ohio, and settled there. Having made q
small payment on the land, he set to work
clearing and raising crops, but the land
was poor. Sickness and the death of his
wife after a long illness left John in had
financial shape. The mortgage became
due, and the distressed old man, with his
home full of children, was about to be sold
out by the sheriff.
Phil was then lieutenant, 1 think,
stationed in Oregon. Hearing from his
brother at home how it was going with
his uncle, he sent his small earnings land
1t took it ALL to the rescue, bought the
land, telling his uncle to remain there
as long as he lived, which he did for seven
teen years, without O cent of rent. The
land was very cheap in that rough locality
then, but since the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad has tapped it on the southeast
corner, making it one of the most desirable
mining tracts in that township, worth not
less than $3.50 per acre, the sympathetic.
kindhearted lieutenant of thirty years
ago has lost nothing by his investment,
besides the pleasant and gratifying
thought of saving home for his old
uncle during his lifetime
The present tenant of the "Pigeon
Roost" farm is Billy Sharkey, the son of
one of the veterans that followed the
general up and down the Shenandoah
valley, and when storm damaged his
crops, the general sent word to his agent
not to charge him any cash rent if he had
bad iuck.-Ben: Perley Poore.

The Emperor of Austria,

The emperor stands in plainly fur
nished study in undress uniform, without
q star or grand Gordon, and he greets
everybody with an engaging smile and o
good natured gesture of the hand, which
seems to say: "There is no ceremony here.
Tell me your business and if 1 can help
you will" The emperor of Austria has
a penetrating eye and quick, catching
manner. BY a glance he makes people
feel at home and by a word draws from
them what they have to say. Then he
gives his own answer straightout and
fearlessly, but generally with an acqui-
escing smile, and whatever he promises is
faithfully performed. There is nothing
petty or evasive in him. He is monarch
who replies by eyes" or ''no," but always
with so much courtesy that the humblest
of his subjects receives from him at de-
parting the same bow that he vouchsafes
to ambassadors. A most loyable trait in
him is that whenever he sees anybody
nervous at his presence he makes the au-
dience last until by his kind endeavors
the nervousness has been completely dis
pelled.-Boston Transcript.

English PeopIe on the Continent.

was once for month at one of these
German springs, where there was little
knot of English people with whom 1 spent
my time. I had passed score of years
in England then, and fallen, perhaps,
into many English ways. At any rate I
did just like these. They were people of
position at home; a marchioness, the
daughter of duke, an earl and countess,
two married daughters of other earls,
with their husbands, and all of that sort
They formed a little clique of their own;
knew nobody else of all the thousands,
saw each other half O dozen times o day
and were very intimate, while it lasted.
All rose at 8 and went to the spring; they
had to walk a quarter of an hour between
the glasses, and some were ordered six or
eight glasses of morning. There was
music to listen to and there were thou
sands of people to look at, and the bracing
air of the morning was an unusual sensa-
ton to most of them.
After the waters, they all went to the
bakers and bought their own rolls, which
they carried in pink paper bags to some
rough table under the trees, to which
coffee was brought. Perhaps eggs were
allowed, but certainly neither butter nor
napkins. And it was amusing to watch
the fastidious fingers and aristocratic lips
adapt themselves to these unfamiliar
circumstances. believe they sometimes
compromise on paper napkins, but it
would have been considered bad taste to
indulge in any further luxury. Dinner
was often taken by half dozen together
in q public hall If a table large enough for
so many could be found; or there was a
long table d'hote, at which have seen the
daughter of earls economize over their
claret, and sickle for what was left from
yesterdays repast. But they always
placed themselves punctiliously according
to degree, and when they rose the woman
of highest rank was sure to precede; her
sisters of quality holding back for her
with proud humility. For your true aris-
tocrat is as careful not to go too soon in
the line as to fight if put back too far
